I'm a member of Camaro5 and was smoothing a water pump for my car. Turns out my dealer sold me a corvette ls3 pump and I didn't realize it until I was 80% done. Here's the original sale thread:

And info on the pump:
It's new and never been installed.
My dealer sold me the wrong water pump and I didn't realize it until I was almost done smoothing it. Its down to 120 grit and I have about 20 hours into it. If you wanted to paint it you wouldn't need to do anything, its smooth enough and just needs a good cleaning. If you want to buff it you'd only need to give it a bit more attention in the center section around the 7 bolt faces and probably go over everything with 220. You could probably skip that step if you want to use a rough, medium and smooth compound. I usually sand it by hand to the point I only need medium and smooth compounds. I've already hand sanded 90% of the visible surfaces so there's no major dips or bumps, its all level. All bolt surfaces and hose connection points were fully masked with 2 layers of duct tape and are still in perfect condition.
The cost new was $135 and then all my time and materials. I don't expect to make it all back but make me a reasonable offer, I'd like to get $150 and a few bucks for shipping but maybe that's wishful thinking. At least help me make enough to buy a bullet for my dealer. The thermostat and housing are on my work bench which I will throw in but don't have a pic of.

Here is what it looks like as it currently sits. Notice that I did not smooth some of the sections on the lower rear that you would NEVER see once installed.





This is what it looked like stock:

Any reasonable offers let me know.

I can fully polish it if we work something out. Here's a thermostat housing that I did but is not included. A stock unpolished unit is included with the purchase.

No one wants to dress up their engine bay?

PM me for a fast response.

From someone who had done this, the polishing process is long, dirty and frustrating but the end result is outstanding. Someone needs to snap this up quickly.

Thanks, I was so frustrated after sinking all the time into this I still haven't bought the proper one and started over. The center section with all those bolt holes was a total ball buster.

It's very close to only needing the buffing wheel passed over it.

Help me feed my mod addiction, need this thing gone.

synner

Bump.

Threw it out after a couple ridiculous low ***** and 1.5 years of no interest. Consider the thread closed
